Follow the Law or Open the Borders
Gavin Newsom is the Mayor of San Francisco, which is a “sanctuary” city. That means it is his policy to hide illegal aliens from law enforcement and protect them.
Mayor Newsom used tax dollars to give illegal aliens attorneys to defend themselves against deportation or criminal charges.
Mayor Newsom used tax dollars to send teen age illegal alien drug dealers to San Bernardino County, on a bus, to hide them from law enforcement.
Under Federal law, he has formed a conspiracy to protect illegal aliens. His city is over $450 million in deficit, but he used money from the poor and middle to protect and defend the criminal class—illegal aliens.
Federal law is clear, illegal aliens need to be found and deported. Why?
Government May Not Be Trusted But Small Business Is
Gaining headlines with the release of the Pew Research Center’s survey last week was the fact that Americans don’t trust government. But buried in the survey numbers on the negative feeling Americans had about most institutions was a major exception – small business.
While the federal government garnered support from only 25% in the survey, large corporations achieved the same level of support, the media corralled 31% support, labor unions 32% and entertainment industry 33%, small business was sitting atop the survey at 71% support from the American public.
Support for small business crossed party lines. Over 70% of Democrats, Republicans and Independents look favorably on small business.

Ducking Duty With Chapter 9

can be lifted. Expensive leases can be undone. Burdensome contracts can
be erased.
Indeed, a bankruptcy judge can make your bad decisions disappear like magic. You can get a do-over.
Businesses know this, which may explain why some business people, including former
Mayor Richard J. Riordan, are urging the city of Los Angeles to file
for bankruptcy.
The Worst Cities For Jobs

In this least good year in decades, someone has to sit at the
bottom. For the most part, the denizens are made up of "usual suspects"
from the long-devastated rust belt region around the Great Lakes. But
as in last year’s survey, there’s also a fair-sized contingent of former hot spots that now seem to resemble something closer to black holes.
Two sectors have particularly suffered worst from the recession, according to a recent study
by the New America Foundation: construction, where employment has
dropped by nearly 25%, and manufacturing, which has suffered a 15%
decline. The decline in construction jobs has hit the Sunbelt states
hardest; the manufacturing rollback has pummeled industrial areas such
as the Great Lakes as well as large swaths of the more recently
industrialized parts of the Southeast.
